How to perform Band V Up with proper form
Setup
- Equipment: Use a resistance band with handles.
- Positioning: Sit on the floor with your legs extended in front of you. Loop the band around your feet and hold a handle in each hand.
Execution
- Starting Position: Lean back slightly with your torso at a 45-degree angle. Your arms should be extended straight in front of you, parallel to the ground.
- Engage Core: Tighten your core muscles to stabilize your body throughout the movement.
- Movement:
- Simultaneously lift your legs off the ground while pulling the band towards your chest, forming a "V" shape with your body.
- Your torso should incline backward as your legs come up; maintain a strong core to keep balance.
- Hold: Keep this position briefly, ensuring your core is engaged and the band is taut.
- Return: Slowly lower your legs and arms back to the starting position while maintaining control.
Tips
- Avoid straining your neck; keep your head aligned with your spine.
- Maintain a steady breathing pattern throughout the exercise.
- Adjust the tension on the band as needed for your fitness level.
